Certainly not a downgrade, unless you're a snob used to business class. I'd add a caveat: the plane is cramped from the point of view of the cabin crew who are shoehorned into galleys the size of shoeboxes.
It's a bit telling how, on an aviation crew website, the revenue passengers, particularly the best paying and most regular passengers, are sneered at as "snobs", while the cabin crew have hyperbole inserted into their descriptions, such as "shoehorned into shoeboxes"

You are correct, and whatever the beancounters may massage the figures for tax purposes to show, British Airways is the one that makes the margins, and the other 12 are the ones that lose much of it again ...
